Left my keys inside vehicle then it locked itself would not open even though keys were visible

Have anybody else have this problem 

It really shouldn’t do that. It’s normally impossible to lock the car if it detects a key inside.

 

Did you leave both keys in there…?

No

Luckily it did it outside my house 

Spare key in-house 

My car did it with keys in the boot, I was working on site over Easter and had my key in my Jacket in the boot. Never been a problem until then. Car had locked itself after a number of hours I believe.
 

Luckily I was only a few miles from home so my good lady brought me the spare (which was flat of course) but removed the cap on the drivers side handle and opened the door with the key blade, got the key out of the boot and deactivated the alarm.

 

I have no idea why it decided to lock itself. Not risked it since.

How did you deactivate 

@Blackbull Just seen the post.

 

I just pushed the button on the working key fob from the boot, but if I remember correctly you can put the flat key fob to the start button and it can scan the chip to deactivate and start the car.

Interesting 

My car was in Skoda yesterday for other work, and they upgraded software on a control module that stops this happening apparently.

Exactly the same for me! My car went in for a service last week and they informed me that an update was due, in order to to prevent this happening. 

Had the software update Thursday

Fingers crossed

The Kodiaq’s just had the 57NL update after the keys were locked in the boot in my jacket.

I’m not sure that I’d trust it again even after the update.

 

It’s a good job I was only 5 miles from home and the spare keys and not 160+ miles away as I often am!

Yea I know what u mean

I always make sure keys are in my pocket 

Let me know if it happens again Greenliner1
